Make Home World that everyone (Except me) has been dying to get and make an easy few million.

Then stop all the baggage that doesn't make you money. And seriously you want to get into MMO????? Better have a Free To Play model right away from the foundation of this game or else it will just feel tacked on!

No Summoner spells. Everything is an item. You want Flash by a blink item. Want to teleport back to base there is an item for that as well. Also you know how carries in LoL win games well in DoTA they will 1v5 and ace the team if feed well.

1) There is no game matching system like Mr. Elo's or any other formula. So balanced games are far and in between.

2) The skill level of the community is very low. It looked like they were looking for DOTA vets and instead its full of people with no clue.

3) It's VERY BETA in terms of balance.

In terms of how it compares to League of Legends. Play DOTA. DOTA is a much more complex game that is great but more involved. I'm married and so LoL is perfect for me. DoTA2 = DoTA with updated graphics and technology updates.

I would say that they actually make more money. I haven't spent a ton but I have and my nephew is spending $20 a month and I know that several thousand of people have spent over $600 on it. To get the champions through RP alone is over $360 or $180 through sale. So I say they make more.

Personally I like this game more then anything else except:

First 6 months Age of Empires Rise of RomeFirst 2 months of Rise of Nations

Riot Patches are game changers every 2 weeks. Thing never get stale. Age of Empire games never got patched for MONTHS with huge GAME BREAKING balance issues. I love the changing game and combos.
